We hope to have a more detailed story up here on the forum today, but Harry's Thuraya is acting up and he cannot send email at the moment. Hopefully this is fixed soon, as I am sure lots of you are interested to read about the events of the last days, especially the death of Marko, and the impact this has had on the whole team.

May 28 update: email working again. REPORT HAS JUST BEEN POSTED IN FORUM

Thank you for the update on the change of plans. It sounds like a wise decision. And hey...June 1st is a great day to summit Everest!!! Maybe 7 Summits will be the 1st team to become summitteers of Everest in June 2005!

Also, thank you for passing on my good wishes to John. It was really appreciated.

All of my good thoughts are with both teams (and all climbers on Everest) as they make their final ascent to the top of the world!

Thanks for the quick report updates - keep it up!! (Romke has left at a critical time but he does deserve break, although I'm sure he is keeping his ears close to the action).

1st June is a good call Harry - wise to postpone if the weather for 31st is due to worsen. Keep listening attentively to those weather reports and best wishes to the guys at the North Col - thinking of you tomorrow, Sun 29th, as I trek through the Mourne Mountains in N Ireland.
